Jennifer Lopez Thinks Men Are Useless Before 33

Trending News: Jennifer Lopez Thinks Men Are Useless Before 33 — She’s Right

Long Story Short

When do men grow up? Jennifer Lopez reckons it’s when they turn 33. And apparently, she’s totally right.

Long Story

When it comes to dating advice, you can probably trust Jennifer Lopez. Ben Affleck, Marc Anthony, Casper Smart, Chris Judd, P Diddy: all have appeared on the arm of the singer and film star.

Good thing, then, that Tinder enlisted her help for its Swipe Sessions YouTube series. In an episode earlier this month she helped a country singer named Brooke look for the perfect match.

Lopez’s most telling advice? “Guys, until they’re 33, are really useless.” And before all you 20-somethings (and early 30-somethings) swear off J.Lo forever, apparently she’s on to something.

In an interview on Insider, Dr. Jane Greer, a New York-based relationship expert and author of What About Me? Stop Selfishness From Ruining Your Relationship, says that a no-guys-under-33 rule actually makes a lot of sense.

“It can take men into their early 30s to establish their professional career and feel a sense of financial stability, which helps them feel more secure in life,” Greer says in the piece. “As a result, this can give them the maturity that comes with accomplishment, experience, and success.”

Those who are in their early 30s probably know what Greer is talking about. Suddenly you’re not living hand-to-mouth anymore. And all those nights you enjoyed hitting the clubs, trying to meet women? Now you’re a bit more likely to spend them at home working on yourself.

“Sometimes you see a guy who's been in several relationships but then, in his early 30s, suddenly he meets a woman and is ready to marry her,” Greer says.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you’re sh*t out of luck if you’re in your late 20s. But Lopez’s advice at least gives you something to live up to.

In the meantime, you can watch the video on YouTube. Seeing J.Lo hijack Brooke’s phone, murmuring, “Left on this guy, left on this guy, left on this guy”, is worth the price of admission alone.
